Big Guy and The Little Princess

The week in Utah was wonderful. Yes, there were some exhausting nights, but there were some delightful days. Annachka (my son’s diminutive for his daughter) is a sweet baby who does have her fussy moments, but is a joy nonetheless. It was a pleasure to take care of her.


Many family members gathered for her blessing on Easter Sunday, and that was a special occasion. How thrilling and gratifying it was to see my son, the father, assume his parental and religious duties with humble aplomb.

We all took turns doting on The Little Princess. Even Big Guy took his turn feeding her.As I watched him holding her, I was struck with one of those epiphanic moments. Family is what matters. Families can be forever.

You have a beautiful family! It is fun to get the updates on them. I still can't wait to see the little "princess" in person. And family is all that matters in the end.

P.S. Do I note some Schramm in that little girl?
 
Thanks, Megaboo! Regarding your postscript, I think that the baby looks like her mother. And you can't see it, but her hair is a strawberry reddish blonde. She's a cutie!
 
What a beautiful baby! Congratulations!
